-it is ok even if no tooth yet

Thanks a lot!

Babies don't need teeth to eat appropriate finger foods. My LO is BLW and has been eating while foods since 5.5 months. He just sprouted his first tooth about a week ago, so as of now, he has about 1/4 of a tooth ;)
He eats steamed veggies of all sorts, hunks and strips of beef, steak, chicken, turkey and ground beef/pork (I also shred some to make sure he ingests plenty of it for iron and protein). He eats whole bananas, berries, steamed apples and pears, whole steamed prunes...slices of avocado, toast - heck, I gave him a couple of goldfish crackers the other day and he had no problem *Don't try this with your purée fed baby!
Start out slowly with tender steamed carrots, broccoli, zucchini and other soft foods, but its certainly okay for them to practice eating whole foods.

I've been baby led weaning since 6 months and my baby eats everything too. Their gums are pretty amazing at biting and chewing! I highly recommend reading the baby led weaning book. I felt really confident about weaning after reading it! Have fun!

We do BLW too. I wouldn't necessarily recommend jumping in without doing some reading first though. One thing I like about it is that I don't have to use any "baby" recipes. We are just careful to limit salt and sugar. Have fun! babyledweaning.com

My lo has two teeth and we have been trying finger foods. She doesn't get the idea on how to pick it up and put it in her mouth. She kinda picks it up then drops it. Keep practicing. Already eating the jar food with the chuncks. But she likes to taste what we eat. As long as its small and soft we give bites.
